Who we are

The National Office is located in a modest building huddled against the garden wall of Loseley House, a beautiful historic house near Guildford in Surrey.

From here the small team work hard to handle membership enquiries, charm sponsors, administer the Collections Scheme, oversee the Threatened Plants Project, write newsletters and Journals, run workshops, liaise with other conservation organisations, help the media, orchestrate the Hampton Court Marquee, consolidate the accounts, and juggle a thousand other tasks.

We welcome volunteers! Please get in touch if you would like to contribute your skills and enthusiasm to a worthy cause.

During a speech on press day at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2 July 2018, Alan Titchmarsh, President of the plant conservation charity Plant Heritage which is celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year, paid tribute to the hundreds of plant enthusiasts who dedicate themselves to curating National Plant Collections across the nation.
